Holiday Rentals in Suzaka

The entire experience was wonderful, totally unique, like nothing we've ever done before. The food was amazing, I am vegetarian and they made an extra special effort to make sure that I had just as good food as my meat and fish eating husband. The onsens were great, very relaxing.

Kei’s place is his family’s traditional Japanese home, and we were blessed to be able to stay there. It’s located in a quiet neighbourhood but you can reach all main streets by train as the stops are all located nearby. The wooden architecture of the house and the surrounding garden give it such a dreamy appearance, a fireplace, traditional futon bed and perfectly equipped kitchen for tea and coffee invite the guests to unwind and enjoy the peace. On top of this, Kei himself is as impressive as his grandparent’s place. Not only he welcomed us making us feel like we were returning home, but on our last night there, he brought all the ingredients for Okonomiyaki and made dinner for all of us. The whole time we felt like we were old friends, and it’s a beautiful quality Kei holds. We will never forget our time at Maison d’hôtes, and we are forever grateful to Kei whom we hope to welcome soon in Germany. On this note, Kei is not a host, he’s your friend.

Beautiful, authentic, calming and the people. Wonderful

Prime location. Right in the middle of the Old district and very close to the historical temple. Friendly and attentive owners. Clean and nice onsen. Easy to get a bus from the train station.

The owner was very kind and generous. Very comfortable bunk beds.

Breakfast was amazing. Staff was accommodating and the facilities were perfect.

The Onsen is very very good Dinner is delicious

Yudanaka Onsen Yamazakiya was an astounding experience for me. The Ryokan is located in a pictureske street with many small shops and restaurants. The rooms are great, featuring a super nice kotatsu, a futon, a bed and a separate room for enjoying the view and making/drinking tea. The room also has a refrigerator which is great. Also, Akira-san can heat your Conbini food in a microwave if you ask him. The two onsen facilities the ryokan features are both great, being private and having the option to adjust water temperature by adding cool water. Lastly, there is a free drinking water station in the lobby. If you are planning on visiting the Jigokudani Yaen Koen Snow Monkey Park, this ryokan is a great option since Akira (or his mother) will gladly take you right to the entrance of the park, with no additional fee within ten minutes. Which brings me to my favourite part of this ryokan: Akira, his mother and all of the lovely staff. Akira-san speaks really good English so check-in and basic questions about onsen, food, attractions and anything else are no problem at all. For more complicated stuff he will just use a translator app. If every person in the world would be a just a little bit more like Akira-san, we would live in a better world. He constantly made me feel at home and taken care of, which I really appreciated since I kinda had a hard time mental-wise while being there. Akira-san even drove me to the station at the day I had to leave and made sure I have everything I needed. Great humans, great ryokan, great rooms, great onsen, great location, great stay. Would come again for sure if I ever were to visit Yamanouchi again. - ヤニク

The private onsen was very pleasant and allowed couples to bath together unlike the public baths. The location was very convenient for access to the public onsen also with numbers 1 and 2 only 100 meters or so away. The Japanese breakfast and dinner included with the room was excellent with very attentive and personal service.
